The "standout" track of the bunch. This one came out of nowhere, just appeared in my head one day and the family chaos in the living room seemed to be in the background while I was writing these lyrics. Thankfully that's all it took as I feel…

This certainly could have been recorded again to be cleaned up on vox and guitar, but I felt the background commentary added just the right touch :)

In a slightly different kind of episode, Bristol musician and artist Dan Petley steps into the therapy office of Alex, and confronts his deepest fears and doubts.

This was the first track done for RPM 2014 - sets the tone with conspiracies, jet airplanes, martians, and explosions.

As things fall apart in the Ukraine (oh, so close after the Russian Olympics!) I wonder how many people will be wondering the same thing....

Another from the "oughts" dusted off and tweaked for the RPM Challenge 2014.

I wrote this for Kevin Callahan back in the day. It ended up filling something of a niche on the second side of MDL - so here it is.

This one's by Amber Tatnall; we banged it out Friday the 28th as the last song on the RPM 2014 project. It's so lovely, it'll get a rework soon. But Not Today!

Arbeit Macht Frei...work will set you free. Always assuming you can find any...

A short piano piece that is more or less just improvised and played in one take.....hope you enjoy
